Police say suspects pulled over after burglary reported in Stuart

Two men were arrested Wednesday morning, and police think they might be involved in the recent string of what they've been calling the "pillowcase burglaries."

Elijah Harris, 24, and Clarence Westbrook, 21, were pulled over on Interstate 95 in Port St. Lucie and arrested on charges of possession of burglary tools. Harris also faces a felony count of driving without a license.

They were pulled over a short time after an alarm sounded at a home in Stuart when a window in the back of the home was broken. A neighbor, Dale Eubank, told investigators he saw a red Camaro leave the scene and heard his neighbor's house alarm.

"I kind of put two and two together and then I looked over the fence and I noticed the window was broken out of the house," Eubank said.

Eubank called 911 and police had the suspects in custody less than 40 minutes later. The victims said they don't believe anything was stolen from the house, but they're still upset.

"It kind of creeped me out," said Donna Carr. "The broken glass and the stuff all over the floor."

"Very frustrated; very mad," said Rich Carr. "But all you can do is what you can do."

The two suspects are currently in the St. Lucie County Jail. They're not currently charged with anything related to the pillowcase burglaries, but police haven't ruled out further arrests.

Since 2011, investigators have been trying to solve the string of pillowcase crimes, of which they said there have been several dozen.
